- Since Alias is used primarily as a 3D application,a basic knowledge of CAD terminology would be beneficial,but not essential.We'll be moving between the 2D and 3D world,and also using autographic viewand isometric views during our creation process.Alternative 3D CAD applications like Inventoror CATIA, use very similar techniquesand principles that we will be using with Alias Design.If you're new to 3D CAD, the completion of this coursewill help you move on to learningadditional CAD applications in the Lynda.com library.

Having a basic knowledge of Windows, Windows commandsand the Windows file structure, would certainly helpwith moving through this course,but the main focus is to get you up and runningwith CAD modeling as quickly as possible.
